Curious of seeing if I could use a Cocoa framework to detect the language of a string, I ended up finding a surprisingly clean and easy solution.
I decided to post my findings online since I couldn't find anything when I googled the topic:
http://merbist.com/2009/12/29/fun-with-macruby/
In less than 10LOC, here is how to implement this feature:
framework 'Foundation'
class String
def language
CFStringTokenizerCopyBestStringLanguage(self, CFRangeMake(0, self.size))
end
end
"bonne année!".language # => "fr"
